The Open Root Server Network (ORSN) is a set of additional DNS servers for use in Europe. ORSN was started in February 2002 and was shut down on 31/12/2008.[1] ORSN was operated independently from ICANN but the root zone information was normally kept in synchronization with that of the network coordinated by ICANN.
ORSN was primarily started to reduce the over dependence of Europe on USA/ICANN. ICANN was primarily dominated by USA, so ORSN was formed to avoid a possible internet shutdown in Europe.[2]
Paul Vixie, the main designer of the Bind DNS server is a part of the ORSN.[3][4]
